Introduction to BN360-200 Backeye® Select 360°
Brigade’s BN360-200 Series Backeye® Select 360° system is an advanced camera monitor system that provides a
simulated birds-eye-view of the vehicle, giving drivers the ability to see all around the vehicle in a single image. Using
Backeye® 360 Select system drivers can significantly improve blind spot visibility and low speed manoeuvrability
versus traditional camera monitor systems. The BN360-200 system comprises of four of Brigade’s ultra-wide-angled
cameras, an ECU, power and interface harnesses and an IR remote control for interaction with the system. By placing
the ultra-wide-angled cameras symmetrically around the vehicle the ECU can capture and process single camera
images into a single, top-down view of the full surroundings of the vehicle.
Please Note:
The composite view is not a true overhead pan view and objects may appear distorted, partial or
further/closer away than they appear – especially in areas where the image is a combination of two cameras
(i.e. where the two camera images “blend”). It is imperative that Brigade Backeye®360 Select is fitted and
commissioned by competent and trained technicians. The installer is responsible for the fitness for purpose
of the overall system and adheres to relevant regulations and legislation. Operators of the vehicle to which
the Brigade Backeye®360 Select system is fitted must be made fully aware of how to interpret the images
provided by the system so they will not be distracted by or rely completely on it. Distraction can cause
accidents. The system is intended to aid the operator, who must still concentrate on operating the vehicle,
obey traffic and local regulations and continue to use his/her own training, senses and other vehicle aids,
such as mirrors, as would be done if the system were not in place. Nothing removes the responsibility of the
operator to operate the vehicle in a proper and lawful manner.
